© Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Imagn LeBron James has an extensive history of lying. So much so, even, that he's garnered a reputation among NBA fans for just repeatedly making up boldfaced, easily disprovable lies. Those lies, however, are often harmless and disappear within a week or so. But a new alleged lie, one surrounding his attendance of Kobe Bryant's memorial service, is the type of thing that could do serious damage to his reputation. The newest controversy came as part of the ongoing beef between James and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.

Shortly afterward, however, Smith walked back the comment and issued an apology to James. That was that. Until it wasn't. Former ESPN star Pablo Torre decided to dig a bit further into the controversy as part of his show, Pablo Torre Finds Out . What Torre found out does not...

After losing their first three matchups against the Los Angeles Lakers this year, the Golden State Warriors finally got a win over their in-state rival in the final matchup of the season between the two teams. The Warriors left Los Angeles with a 123-116 win on Thursday.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Spanish actor and documentarian Diego Osorio decided to pivot from the world of acting to that of distilling tequila, launching his own spirit brand inspired by the story of his namesake and great-grandfather's immigration from Spain to Mexico.

Then one day, he received an unexpected call from an NBA legend looking to invest in the company: LeBron James. "I get a call from an Ohio number. I picked up, and he goes, 'Hey Diego, I'm LeBron James,'" Osorio said. "He's like, 'Hey, I hear you're doing this ... Is [the tequila] any good?'" Soon after, James became Osorio's first investor, and several other famous faces — like Maverick Carter, Draymond Green and Arnold Sch...

"[James' chief of staff] Randy [Mims] hit me. Actually, they both just hit me. Vando [Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt] did. We still talk to those guys.
